VACATION DAYS AT CHICKASAW PARK

ONE REVOLUTION OF THE TABLE AND YOUR PENCIL IS DRY
Stacked in the hopper (upper right), pencils pass through an automatic painting device and
are expelled onto the round drying table. This factory is one of three in Shelbyville, all producing
more than a hundred million pencils annually. Because cedar is becoming scarce, manufacturers
buy old rail fences and logs from deserted cabins for their wood supply (page 577).
